We don't consider the van a 'sports car'.. but a 5 speed high torque diesel would be fun to play with on slower tracks. I do understand the safety / roll over risk, so better safe than sorry then.

ummm. taking half height as center of gravity (but could really be closer to 3/4 resulting in an even lower SSF)SSF=T/2H . Vehicle with SSF < 1.3 SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO RACE.SSF=67/(2*70.5/2) = 67/70.5 = 0.95

Posted by Chad ReynoldsEarlier today we announced the Goodguys 2010 show schedule, but then we were looking at the Goodguys web site and noticed more news. There will now be a class for pickup trucks at the Street Challenge Autocross events, which is way cool. Muscle trucks are big these days, so it’s a good move. El Caminos and Rancheros are also put into the truck class, which seems unfair to the real pickups, but otherwise it’s a pretty neat new feature of the show. BangShift.com sponsor Ridetech is also the main sponsor of the Goodguys autocross events.

Here’s the official press release that has the dates of the Goodguys events that include the autocross.

Goodguys is proud to announce a brand new Truck class for theStreet Challenge Autocross events starting in 2010.
